Clear out your cache!

For folks who are new to Android:
To keep your device running smoothly and quickly, especially your internet browser, it's important to occasionally clear out the device's cache (cache is data that is meant to be stored tempoorarily, but it can build up over time and slow the device down).

Shutting down the device and restarting it will clear out cached data. Another way is to install an app manager that can perform this function (there are several, Gemini is a good one). If you leave your device on for long periods of time without completely shutting it down, clearing out the cache occasionally (like every several days, depending on usage) is a good habit to get into.
